Importing a large amount of text in InDesign (Newbie question)!

Hi all

I'm new to InDesign and would appreciate some advice/tips on the best way to transfer a large amount of text from Microsoft Word into an InDesign document. I was tasked to create a very simple pocket-sized book, whose content will be a series of business acronyms (700 +) and their definitions (imagine a very simple dictionary). As you can imagine there are a lot of text in the Microsoft Word document, so any advice on how to transfer everything as quickly as possible would be really useful. Or, where appropriate, it would be easier to use another program?

Can you paste/import all - or chunks-a document word at once? If I format a master page will be Adobe InDesign paste the text in the number of pages required? Or do I have to do it page by page in a Clipboard?

Of course, I don't expect InDesign to format the text perfectly on every page, I want to just throw everything at once and then go back and he put all this.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

File > Place... and navigate to the Word file. Show Import Options to allow you to preserve the formatting of Word, or throw, or card styles styles in your document of identity.

If you have a block of text on your master page, place the cursor loaded above the area of the image on your document page and watch for the cursor change if it is surrounded by parentheses, then hold down the SHIFT key and click. If you do not have a Master frame (and more experienced users will tell you that more than 90% of the time a block of text type is more hindrence than help if you set your margins correctly), hold down the SHIFT key and click where you want the top of the first column to get started.

In both cases, ID will add pages as necessary to place the entire document and thread text across all frames. If using frames of masters, they will be linked and overrridden on the page of document automatically, otherwise, your first image will begin where you click and extend to the bottom margin and succeeding frames will fill the column guides (so talk to your margins correctly).

ID is a professional software and you really need to spend time to learn how it works. A good starting point is the help files. Another is Visual QuickStart Guide of Sandee Cohen of InDesign. If you prefer video training, Lynda.com has good content.

Help display a large amount of text in a single slide

Hello
I met a few cases need to display a lot of text in a single text or slide box.
In the example below, I want the diagram on the left to be interactive, so when the user clicks on each of the blue boxes a text box appears that displays additional information. The problem is I don't have enough room to display some short bullet points and need to display more information.
Trying to think of ways to show a lot of content in a limited space. Does anyone have any ideas of how I could do this?
Thank you
Ross

Use Interaction of text instead of a form of text scrolling or legend. Or, a link to a pdf file in the correct format that you open in a separate window. Legends of text and the interaction that I'm talking about are much more limited regarding formatting.

Second, try questioning: I inserted a text box in my PDF document, but it is not 'push' as I type a paragraph. I can't understand how to configure for larger amounts of text.

It looks like little to my question above - party text disappears at the end of the text box. Creation of PDF files

Never mind - I thought about it.

Large amounts of text as a file attachment or or pdf document.
Good evening!

I want to attach a file (.txt, .rtf, .doc or .pdf) to provide additional information to a database record. I wonder what is the best way to do it. It would also be nice to be able to search the document. I know I can 'the main worlds' attached to the document, but I'd rather be really able to search content.

Any Suggestions?

Thank you

InDesign - newbie question - I can't select several objects...

Shift + click only selects an object at the same time, it turns off when I select the next object... By dragging the marquee of the editing table always selects the page frame. Is there a setting somewhere to be changed?
And where is hidden the Lasso tool? It work?
Thank you!

Application of large amount of copy character styles

Hello!
I am trying to apply character Styles to a large amount of copy and I can't understand it. I find tutorials on how to create them and use them, but I don't want to have to search all my text to style "italic". I hope that all makes sense. I thought that there was a way to apply a character Style to the text easily, but I can find no longer.
I want to apply a character Style to some words in a large amount of text, and then apply Styles to a paragraph in the text box. actually not to change Styles of character to the breast.
Does anyone know how to do this? Looks like it should be so simple!
Thanks in advance!

Is already italic text? If it is you can do a find/change GREP for. + and set the Format to find for italics, and then set the format change on your italic character style and change all. You should do this on a copy of the doc for safety.

Looking for ideas on how to get large amounts of data to the line in via APEX

Hi all
I am building a form that will be used to provide large amounts of data in row. Only 1 or 2 columns per line, but potentially dozens or hundreds of lines.
I was initially looking at using a tabular subform, but this feels like a method heavy since more than an insignificant number of lines.
So now I'm wondering what are the solutions others have used?
Theoretically, I could just provide a text box and get the user to paste in a list delimited by lines and use the background to interpret code on submit.
Another method that I've been thinking is to get the user to save and download a CSV file that gets automatically imported by the form.
Is there something else? If not, can someone give me any indication of which of the above would be easier to implement?
Thank you very much
PT

Hi PT,.

I would say that you need a loading data wizard to transfer your data with a CSV file. 17.13 Creating Applications with loading capacity of data

It is available for apex 4.0 and distributions, later.

Converting large amounts of points - 76 million lat/lon to space object...

Hello, I need help.

Platform - Oracle 11g 64 bit on 64-bit Windows server 2008 Enterprise. 64 GB of ram with 2 processors for a total of 24 cores

Does anyone know a quick way to convert large amounts of points of a space object? I need to convert lat/lon st_geometry ESRI or Oracle sdo_geometry 76 millions.

Currently I have the configuration code using parallel functions in pipeline and several jobs that run at the same time. It takes still more than 2.5 hours to deal with all the points.

Pointers would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you

John

Hello

Where is the lat/long data at this time? In an external text file or in an existing database table as attributes numbers?

If they are in an external text file, then I'd probably use an external table to load them in as soon as possible.

Are they in an existing database table, then you can just update the column sdo_geometry to help:

update set = sdo_geometry(2001, , sdo_point_type(, , null), null, null)
where is not null
and is not null;

That must run very fast for you. If you want to avoid the overhead of creating again, you can use "create table... as select... ». This example of creating 1 000 000 points works in 9 seconds for me.
create table sample_points (geometry) nologging as
(select sdo_geometry(2001, null,
sdo_point_type(
trunc(100000 * dbms_random.value()),
trunc(100000 * dbms_random.value()),
null), null, null)
from dual connect by level <= 1000000);

I have the configuration code using parallel functions in pipeline and several jobs that run simultaneously
You must use pl/sql for this task. If you find you, then provide a code example and we'll take a look.

Advice needed on the way to store large amounts of data
Hi guys,.
Im not sure what the best way is to put at the disposal of my android application of large amounts of data on the local device.
For example records of food ingredients, in the 100?
I have read and managed to create .db using this tutorial.
http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/air/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d49. HTML
However, to complete the database, I use flash? If this kind of defeated the purpose of it. No point in me from a massive range of data from flash to a sql database, when I could access the as3 table data live?
Then maybe I could create the .db with an external program? but then how do I include this .db in the apk file and deploy it for android users device.
Or maybe I create a class as3 with a xml object initialization and use it as a way to store data?
Any advice would be appreciated
You can use any way you want to fill your SQLite database, including using external programs, (temporarily) incorporation of a text file with SQL, executing some statements code SQL from code AS3 etc etc.
Once you have filled in your db, deploy with your project:

I type an e-mail; When I reached twenty lines, it won't let me nothing else in this e-mail type space... What can I do to increase the amount of text?
Is it possible that I can increase the amount of text that is allowed when entering an email. I'm going to
banging a long e-mail to someone and after 20 lines or more - no matter if I use spaces
between the lines or not - even in the middle of a value - IT will appear all the words that I type...
Sometimes, after he ceases to record what I type in an email; I can move on 8-10 lines and I can't
type the new text that will record... but not all the time and when people read my mails, they do not realize
the rest of my remarks in an e-mail message that are so far down the page...
Help!

Update of Microsoft using large amounts of resources
I have 2 computers with Microsoft update by using a large amount of RAM. Wuauclt.exe and svchost.exe eat so much memory that do not complete the updates. This happened for a few weeks and have just been told. I have reset the updates that did not help. I disabled Microsoft Updates which seems to fix the problem. A system has 512 MB of RAM and Norton AV, the other has 1 GB of RAM and NOD32.
Hi Chris,
Method 1:
First of all I suggest you enable Microsoft Updates for your computer. An analysis online for your computer from the link given below, because this can be a problem if your computer is infected by viruses or malware.
http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
Method 2:
In addition, would suggest you use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow the link below.

AppleMobileDeviceService.exe use a large amount of memory
Original title: Applemobiledeviceservice.exe
I am running XP Professional and have installed MSE on the computer as my antivirus software. I have 2 GB of memory and has recently added SpeedyPC Pro to improve performance. Today my PC was slow and open the Task Manager and saw that applemobiledeviceservice.exe used a large amount of memory. I think my daughter has added years back, but she no longer uses this computer. Do I need? If this is not the case, how can I remove it?
See you soon
SpeedyPC... what a scam.

Memory management by displaying the large amount of data
Hello
I have a requirement to display the large amount of data on the front in table 2 & 7 graphic during the time period 100hrs for 3 channels, data read from strings must be written in the binary file, and then converted and displayed in front of the Panel for 3 channels respectively.
If I get 36 samples after conversion for all hours, up to 83 h 2388 samples displayed in table and graphical data are thin and samples correspond exactly.
After that 90 hours 45 minutes late is observed after theoretical calculation of samples, what could be the problem
I have controller dual-core PXI8108 with 1 GB of ram
As DFGray,
says there is no problem with the RAM or display, problem with conversion (timming issue) if I am data conversion of large amount it takes even, compared to the conversion less amount of data. So I modifed so that each data point Sec 1 is convereted at once, problem solved
Thanks for your replies
